AIM: To study the effect of extract from Pongamia pinnata roots on anti-inflammation and analgesia and acute toxicity. METHODS: The models of mice ear edema induced by xylene and Cotton pellet granuloma in rats to observe the anti-inflammation effect of PRE via oral administration. The effect of PRE on analgesia was tested by measuring the latent period licking hind foot with the hot plate method and counting body twisting induced by acetic acid in mice. The acute toxicity of PRE was measured by the method of Bliss. RESULTS: PRE could significantly inhibit the ear edema caused by xylene in mice, granuloma hyperplasia caused by cotton in rats. It could significantly prolong the pain threshold on hot-plate in mice, reduce the writhing times in mice. The LD50 of PRE was 6. 371 8 g/kg, its 95% confident limit was 5. 408 4-7. 723 2 g/kg. CONCLUSION: PRE has obvious effect on anti-inflammation and analgesia and the lower acute toxicity.

AIM To investigate the therapeutic effect of ethyl acetate extract from Pongamia pinnata roots (PREA) on ethanol-induced gastric lesions. METHODS The experimental gastric mucosal injuries were prepared by ig ethanol to rats, and the protective effect of PREA was evaluated by calculating lesion index, observing pathological changes, and measuring the contents of nitric oxide (NO) and malondialdehyde (MDA), and the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) from gastric mucosal tissue. In addition, gastric secretary and gastric wall adherent mucus were studied with the pylorus-ligation rat model. RESULTSCompared with the model control group, PREA (50, 150 and 450 mg·kg-1, ig) dose-dependently prevented the gastric mucosal damages induced by ethanol, its inhibition rates were 28.7%, 57.7% and 78.7 %, respectively. The pathomorphology lesions of mucosal tissue were obviously ameliorated. PREA obviously antagonized the ethanol-induced elevation of MDA content, and reduction of NO level and SOD activity of gastric mucosa. PREA significantly reduced gastric juice volume, free acidity, total acidity and total acid output, but didn′t affect the pepsin activity. Moreover, PREA obviously increased adherent mucus quantity of stomach wall, as well as free mucus quantity dissolved in gastric juice of pylorus-ligation rat. CONCLUSIONPREA has protective effect on ethanol-induced gastric mucosal injuries, which suggests that PREA may be used for protection or treatment of human ethanolinduced gastric lesions.

BACKGROUND:Deep vein thrombosis after hip replacement has a high incidence rate. Moreover, deep vein thrombosis can induce pulmonary embolism that can endanger patients’ life and dysfunction of distant deep vein. The appearance of deep vein thrombosis is a great obstacle for the gradual y increased hip replacement.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the occurrence of deep vein thrombosis of lower limb after total hip replacement in elderly patients, and to screen the risk factors for the occurrence of deep vein thrombosis of lower limbs.
METHODS:Clinical data of 128 elderly patients with hip replacement were analyzed retrospectively. Al patients were examined with color Doppler ultrasound in double lower limbs at 1 day before replacement and 7 days after replacement. Multifactor unconditional logistic analysis was conducted on clinical related factors and the formation of lower limb deep vein thrombosis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 7 days after the operation, 16 patients affected deep vein thrombosis of lower limb. The factors for deep vein thrombosis contained female, general anesthesia, bilateral hip replacement and the application of bone cement (P<0.05). The risk for deep vein thrombosis after total hip replacement significantly increased in elderly patients aged over 70 years. Multifactor unconditional logistic analysis exhibited that the multiple risks of sex, obesity and the use of bone cement in elderly patients with deep vein thrombosis increased to 11.398, 3.109 and 8.925. The patients with a blood type O at the age of over 70 years experienced a decreased risk for deep vein thrombosis after total hip replacement. The occurrence of deep vein thrombosis decreased to 0.186 times after replacement. Blood type O could be considered as a protective factor for the occurrence of deep vein thrombosis.

Objective To study the missed diagnosis of colorectal polyps during colonoscopy and its risk factors.Methods Data of 655 patients who underwent repeated co]onoscopy in 3 months (90 days) were analyzed in three endoscopy centers in Shenzhen.Miss rates of polyps and patients were calculated.Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the suspected risk factors associated with the miss rate including gender,age,symptoms of patient and number,shape,location of polyps.Results A total of 459 polyps(20.47%,459/2 242) in 224 patients(34.20%,204/655) were missed in overall 1 783 polyps within 655 patients.The patient miss rate increased with the polyp count increasing from 1 to 4,but with no significant differences.Polyp count of more than 5 was the independent risk factor for patient miss rate during colonoscopy(OR=4.98,P=0.00).Polyps in males were easier to be missed than those in females (OR =1.76,P =0.00).Size less than 5 mm was the independent risk factor for missed diagnosis during colonoscopy(OR=2.94,P=0.00).The flat type(Yamada Ⅰ,Ⅱ) was also the independent risk factor(OR=2.72,P=0.01;OR=3.23,P=0.00 respectively).Conclusion The miss rate of polyps is related to gender,basic polyp count,the size and shape of polyp.Male with multiple polyps and polyps with flat type and small size tend to be missed.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effects of different anesthesia depth on stress response in elderly patients undergoing elective laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer.
METHODSA total of 105 ASA I-III patients aged 60-91 years undergoing elective laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer with general anesthesia were randomized into 3 groups, namely group A with a target Narcotrend index (NI) maintained at D0 level, group B with a NI at D2 level, and group C with a NI at E1 level. The anesthetics (profopol and remifentanil) were adjusted according to Narcotrend monitoring results to maintain the specified anesthesia depth. The patients' heart rate (HR) and mean artery pressure (MAP) were recorded before anesthesia (T0), before intubation (T1), immediately after intubation (T2), at 2 min before pneumoperitoneum (T3), 2 min after pneumoperitoneum (T4), at the end of the surgery (T5) and extubation (T6). Serum levels of cortisol, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), endothelin-1 (ET-1), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured by standard ELISA and radioimmunoassay before anesthesia (Ta), at the end of the surgery (Tb) and 1 day after the surgery (Tc).
RESULTSHR and MAP in group A increased significantly at T2, T4, and T6 compared to those at T0 (P<0.05), and were higher than those in group B and group C (P<0.05). The MAP in all the 3 groups all decreased at T1 and T3 (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and was markedly lower in group C than in groups A and B (P<0.05). The incidence of hypertension was significantly higher in group A than in groups B and C (P<0.05), while the incidence of hypotension was much higher in group C (P<0.01). There were no obvious differences in serum levels of cortisol, ACTH, CRP, IL-6, TNF-a, or ET-1 among the groups at Ta (P>0.05). The serum levels of ACTH in the 3 groups all significantly increased at Tb and Tc (P<0.01). CRP, IL-6 and TNF-a levels in group A were increased at Tb and Tc (P<0.05 or P<0.01) and significantly higher than those in groups B and C (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Cortisol in groups A and B increased at Tb and Tc (P<0.05) to a significantly higher level than that in group C (P<0.01). ET-1 level in group C at Tb and Tc was lower than those in groups A and B (P<0.05 or P<0.01).
CONCLUSIONSMaintaining the anesthesia depth for a NI at the D2 and E1 level can both attenuate the stress response in elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer, but the hemodynamic stability can be better at a D2 level.
